Last night I had me a nightmare.
Dreamed that Texas was burning down.
And all those people, I`d grown up to love
were leavin` town.
So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the red, Red sea.
Bring back towns van zandt and Stevie Ray back to me.
`Cause I can play these songs but it ain`t the way they do.
Ain`t the way they do.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.
Stevie Ray, was riding on the wind.
Buddy Holly, he was too.
But when there star comes tumblin to the ground.
Not a thing the king`s horses, and all the king`s men could do.
Me, I just got this ol` barstool.
And man it`s burning me down. (burnin` me down)
Just like a brushfire, that burns all through the night.
One of these days I`m gonna, one of these days I`m gonna burn on out.
So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the red, Red sea.
Bring back towns van zandt and Stevie Ray back to me.
`Cause I can play these songs but it ain`t the way they do.
Ain`t the way they do.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, oooo-ooh.
